Hey !

Now that isolation has hit Melbourne again (where I’m from) I’ve had change a number of different things because of it.

Including my training and business.

The truest test for any of us is how quickly we can adapt to different circumstances in life.

Those that refuse to accept change ultimately get left behind.

While those who embrace and adapt to it end up coming out of top.

So that’s what this weeks Maximum Monday is going to be about adapting.

Enjoy!

Balance the scale, Control, perspective, physical, mental and adapting like a mixed martial artist.

Read time- about 90 seconds.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTROLLING WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL.

It’s so easy for a lot of us to get swept up in any type of drama. Especially from the mainstream media. Focusing on what can be controlled is so important. Controlling the mindset and controlling our habit is going to ensure we put ourselves in the best possible frame of mind to deal with anything that gets thrown at us.

METAPHOR - When life gives you lemons you make lemonade?

GAIN A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

3 weeks ago I finished listening to mans search for meaning. Victor Frankel was in a nazi concentration camp in world war 2 and some of the horrible things they went through made me sick to my stomach. Immediately I thought of the COVID-19 lockdown and the complaints from society about it. The perspective is we’re not in a concentration camp.

METAPHOR- Society complaining about a nuclear warhead when it’s really a pallet gun.

WORK THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL EQUALLY.

When we get both of them working it provides a much more restful night sleep. My father in law used to work a very mentally and emotionally demanding job. The down side was their wasn’t much in the ways of physical activity. So he would come home and chop up wood for an hour or 2 then he’d sleep like a baby. Ensure both get equally worked.

METAPHOR- It’s like giving someone $100 for a $25 item and knowing how to get the change back.

METAPHOR OF THE WEEK: ADAPT LIKE A GREAT MIXED MARTIAL ARTEST.

The best mixed martial arrests are great at about 8 different types of martial arts which means they can adapt to any situation there opponent throws at them.

BE A COOL HUMAN

Cool humans look after other cool humans.

Until next week, adapt, divide and conquer.
